Can be rattling when most of a department is set loose. I ended up leaving my last long-term job (in 2019) when a new GM came in and fired half of our billing and customer service teams. Told her to suck my dick on the way out and now can't use her as a ref lol.
If you do end up leaving, because the culture and attitudes have changed, do not burn bridges 😅
Do not tell GM to suck my dick. Noted, thank you.
Yeah. Good advice. Try not to burn the bridges on the way out unless you absolutely don’t need their reference or don’t think you’ll get work from them.
Also if networking is close, it’s better to keep your reputation.
Take the advice I could not take myself.

No, but HR did ask me to resign. I told them I had already sent them my resignation two weeks earlier and that this was actually my last day, did they not get my email, or read it? I had also printed it and gave to the GM at the same time, so I asked her if she did not remember me handing her the unfolded, un-enclosed letter that I watched her read and acknowledge.
I could see they felt awkward, so I told them to pay me for the rest of that day and I left early.
